I was minding my own business, drinkin a brew When Citigroup called for an interview. I was nervous as fuck, I had not prepared, To top it all off my judgement's impaired!
From stocks to comps, and notes to bonds I muttered some shit as the analyst responds, 'more technicals i have for you to beat, you got 'em all right? its not a feat'
'the final question' he says, 'and your no longer bound, where can the interest on a cash flow be found?' financing i say, after a pause OH NO ITS NOT, pissed off i was!
Yeah i know, i am shitty poet. I had an interview with Citi today and they asked a lot of technicals. I did pretty well on them, except the last question where i accidently said interest expenses are found on the financing part of the cash flow statement. i know if you mess up a technical your screwed and you have no chance, but is there any way that i could try and redeem myself, or should i just let it go and wallow in my misery?
Perchance had you spent less time with rhymes You may have gotten a job in these dismal times.
I don't think it is a dealbreaker seriously. Who you are > what you know about technicals...
You can follow up with the analyst to reiterate your interest in the firm and mention your eagerness to learn and how you went back and looked up the technical stuff you got wrong. I've never tried this but have heard this advice before from multiple people.
There were no fit based questions. they asked what i did at my previous internships and then started asking away at the technicals. I can't really say I looked it up because the question I got wrong was 'what part of the cf statement are interest expenses and i said financing. and then the analyst said 'no its actually operating'
I also had an interview with Citi a week ago. Lateral from different industry, recent grad, with no banking internships A few technicals that stood out: I was asked where the circulation of the financial model would be created, I answered short term debt-->intrest expense-->linking it back to I/S I was asked why minority interest is part of EV after I spat out the EV formula, its a little intuitive, but I couldn't come up with a solid answer Finally, in the second interview, the guy went into a LBO question.... I wasn't even quite sure what he was asking so I just tried to explain the mechanics of a LBO... eventually i was guided to what he was asking for... growth and interest rate..( the guy did laugh it off and said he has yet to hear a good answer to the question from anyone he interviewed )
Deal breaker?
